Avenged Sevenfold is the band Avenged Sevenfold’s 5th album, and is obviously self-titled. It is a great album with very little screaming, and extremely skillful guitar solos.

Ladyhawke, Ladyhawke (Debut Album)
I was first introduced to Ladyhawke after hearing Paris is Burning on some cable music channel. I wasn’t immediately impressed. I thought the chorus it sounded quite fresh yet catchy (a difficult combination), but equally was put off by the almost rap-esque verse.
